Why is it when I drive around on a Friday afternoon it looks like "normal" pre-covid times? Compairing what I see or hear on the local news/media to what I see in real life, they are polar opposites. People are filling malls, small stores, grocery stores, bars, or just plain out driving around in the mountains for fun. It's like I am living in two different realities. Am I paranoid about Covid, yep. But this just really odd to see happening. It's like nobody can make up their damned minds, is it this mega world ending virus, or is it something else being used to scare the shit outta people in an attempt to mold them for something later on? I can accept it's a real virus/disease but every article, journal, or media outlet is saying something different every few hours....

Quoted: How many dead is an acceptable number for you? View Quote The exact number we end at. If you get Covid and die you were going to get it and die. No one is being saved. Everyone focuses on blaming the US and lower government agencies for the deaths when we should be destroying China for their causing all of them. Name one thing that the government has done that it has not F'd up. They played politics and complete screwed over tens of millions to save a few hundred thousand. Toss in increased cases due to states forcing those with Covid into old folks homes where most of those states deaths came from. That is murder and should be tried as such. Anyone who supports screwing over an entire nation to protect those who are going to die anyway has no clue what they are talking about. |

Quoted: They need to make things look very bad for the next two weeks so that they can give Biden credit for the recovery. Some states like Illinois jumped the gun and started reopening. They credit the peasa....citizens cooperation with the partial reopening. At the same time they condemn the previous administration, Trump, for their inability to plan for the distribution of vaccine. Funny how states like Illinois are just starting to vaccinate seniors this week when Florida and Texas started two or three weeks ago. Our governor keeps saying how they need to have vaccine equity. I am afraid that vaccine equity means as old white middle class guy, I am at the end of the line for my group. They are also heading their bet. If their incompetence Biden's rollout to go bad, they can always blame Trump. If Trump would have done a better job the vaccine would have been distributed faster and the new strain of the virus would never have happened or at least been much easier to control. You have to remember that Dems are perfect. View Quote With a fair handling charge payable to the SEIU and CTU, of course.

Quoted: "If you were in hospice and had already been given a few weeks to live, and then you also were found to have COVID, that would be counted as a COVID death. It means technically even if you died of a clear alternate cause, but you had COVID at the same time, it's still listed as a COVID death. So, everyone who's listed as a COVID death doesn't mean that that was the cause of the death, but they had COVID at the time of the death." Dr. Ngozi Ezike - Director Illinois Department of Public Health View Quote And that is why I don't believe one single statistic that is related to covid. I don't give a fuck if you tell me 1 billion people died from it or 100, I don't believe the number and your source has zero credibility. This is too politicized, it is too beneficial to too many orgs/pols/corps to have inflated numbers. You might as well cite bible quotes to an atheist as proof of god. |

Quoted: @Max429 We had an excess of around 420,000 deaths for 2020. View Quote That's a high estimate. Using the numbers from the posts above, 2020 was probably going to be close to 2.9 million for the normal year, so if 2020 was actually 3.2 million, then maybe an excess of 350k. But we will never know if the "normal" year 2020 number would have hit 3 million either. The reality for me is, I don't trust the published data for 2020. We have lost 3 family members in 2020 to "covid", and all 3 were not affected by covid at all. |

Quoted: Uhh, when have hundreds of thousands of people died from the flu in the US? View Quote From it or with it? In the past when a person died of a heart attack, did we test them for any other number of viruses and declare those to be the cause of death? Grandpa didn't die of "old age" this year, he got covid, recovered, and then dies months later, so clearly that's a covid death. Stop pretending this is about the disease, it is about the government exerting control under the guise of "safety." Lock everyone down and outlaw their livelihood, implement "government assistance" that doesn't consist of enough to actually help those people, and sends the majority of the money spent overseas or into the pockets of politicians and their corporate oligarch pals. Meanwhile, the massive inflation this causes drives increases in price indices, making everyone relatively poorer leading to calls for an increased minimum wage, which will again...drive price index increases. Conveniently, the lockdowns can also be used as an excuse to strip our electoral process of any sort of integrity via mail in voting, and we can end up with a uniparty Chinese puppet government; and of course Biden spends his first day in office issuing an edict that kills 10's of thousands of jobs and foreshadows massive energy price increases, which will....drive up price indices. Once you realize all that covid has been the excuse for, it becomes apparent that the "cure" is far worse than the disease itself because it isn't about the disease, it's about driving hysteria. How many times has the narrative changed, and yet you sit here fear mongering nearly a year later? |

There was always going to be a winter spike, which will be blamed on Trump. The dems will enact more policies to act like they are "doing something" so that when the case reductions naturally slow in spring time they can claim it's because of them.
